Hebammen Kräuter für die Schwangerschaft, in Schwangerschaftstee und Stilltee
Raspberry leaves, lady´s mantle, lemon melissa and co. have been valued by midwives and “wise women” for many centuries. As a midwife, I personally mixed all the blends to assure every woman that she can drink these teas in any of the indicated time periods and in the indicated quantities, without having to be afraid of undesirable side-effects. INTO LIFE teas are not medicinal teas. Nevertheless, each herb has its own potent effect - this is intended and welcome.
For a perfect unfolding, it is advised to drink each respective tea regularly. For all teas we use only herbs, flowers and fruits of the highest organic quality.
